Reza Zarrab known by the name of “Aaron Goldsmith” in Miami
Zarrab was arrested in Mimami in 2016 and charged with laundering billions of dollars in a big sanctions-evasion scheme. After he cooperated with the U.S. government and became a witness, he was offered leniency. Zarrab’s testimony helped the United States convict Mehmet Hakan Atilla, a former manager at Turkey’s state-run Halkbank, over charges related to conspiracy and bank fraud including violating sanctions.
